pain became daily more strained. Many vessels left ports in the United States loaded with arms for the Cubans. One of the leading incidents of the war thus far was the death of the Cuban General Maceo. He was found dead Dec. 17, 1896. The truth regarding his death may never be known, but the belief of the Cubans was that he was betrayed by his physician, who was afterwards loaded with honors by General Weyler and sent to Spain. Several Americans were imprisoned by the Spanish during January, 1897. Their release, or at least a speedy civil trial, was demanded by this country. Spain at first refused to grant this, and it seemed for a time as if war was inevitable, but Spain finally agreed to grant the men a trial, after which they were set free. In February, 1897, a number of reforms for the island were proposed by the Spanish government, and their general features were made public, but they did not meet with favor. In October, 1897, General Weyler was succeeded as governor-g

Monetary reform. A national monetary conference, called at the request of the Indianapolis Board of Trade, and composed of representatives of similar organizations in all parts of the United States, was held in Indianapolis, Ind., in January, 1897. Nearly 300 delegates were present. Among the points made in the addresses and papers were: That the greenbacks should be retired; that national banks should be permitted to issue notes up to the par value of bonds deposited to secure their payment; that the country needed a stable tariff, stable government, and stable currency; that prosperity could only be restored by the establishment of a sound monetary system; that the government should base all its issues on the gold standard and replace all notes by coin certificates protected by a 25 per cent. gold reserve; that the government should withdraw from the banking business; that postal savings-banks should be established; and that legislation was necessary for the maintenance of t

tricted the sale of any kind of intoxicating liquors after July 1, 1893, to the State dispensaries, and forbade sales to minors or known drunkards. The law had scarcely been enacted when it met with fierce opposition throughout the State. Governor Tillman gave it hearty official support. In 1894 the Supreme Court of the State decided that the law was unconstitutional, but the legislature of 1893 modified the original act considerably, and the court sustained the law in this form. In January, 1897, the United States Supreme Court decided that the section forbidding the importation of liquor into the State by privated persons violated the inter-State commerce laws of Congress. The other portions of the law have since been carried out with such success as to lead to the introduction of a similar measure in North Carolina. In 1899 the total receipts from the dispensary system, including a surplus from the previous year, were $1,638,939; the aggregate purchases made during the year,
